[Q] Getting Started with Android programming - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I searched for post on this subject and didn't find any, and I am making sure I post in Q&A
I am interested in Android programming and would appreciate some professional advice on what software I would need to get started and any tutorials that I should get to get a good foundation to learn. I would be grateful for any help.
Thanks

Second that. There's a lot of info in the forums, but more reading material never hurts. (Unless its for work or school. That would suck)

look around the board lol LOADS AND LOADS of info here DIVE in !
check the stickies at the top of each subforum. You will find PLENTY of info and how-to's. Also, it really helps to just spend a few hours on here browsing around, you will be surprised at what you will learn.
Pretty much what everyone has already said, but I'd also like to mention the IRC channels. There's a sticky post for that. The guys in the chat rooms have been friendly and helpful in my adventures as an EVO newbie.

Go to the forum home page and click on android development. Look at the stickies. They will help you get started.

There are many tutorials within these forums that explain what I believe your are trying to do. Posting a question in this sub-forum is kind of rude. I would suggest doing lots of searching and reading. When you have a general idea of what you are doing, asking intelligent questions to a developer you like and learning from them.

Not rude just slightly inexperienced, but that's fine, at least this is relatively developement related. Alot better then some questions that get asked here.

Moved to Q&A.
Making a ROM and making an app are two totally different things. First you need to decide what you actually want to accomplish. Then read up as much as you can and ask more specific questions.

You are right about "better than some", but I have looked into developing and it is very intricate process. I would do more if I wasn't in school at night and with my very young son during the days. Just asking someone to outline the process in a forum seems crazy. How hard is it to research the subject before asking detailed questions?

Site Ideas

So, I have taken a Web Design course and just invested in Dreamweaver and Photoshop (both CS5.5). I am looking to make a site similar to my guides. Kind of an Incredible 2 reference site. I was wondering what things you guys would like to see in this type of site. Thanks.
All your guides you made, and a forum like setup for anyone who doesn't understand them completely as well as other walkthroughs and general android news. Also see about making it tapatalk compatible.
That would a lot of help, to noobs and a directoryof dinc2 info.

Well I have no idea about tapatalk and forums, so I would definitely need some help with that.
Sent from my ADR6350 using xda premium
I actually think there are enough Dinc2 forums out there. I'd personally be more interested in a nice, neat maintained list of ROMs, tutorials, and resources. Info tends to get buried in forums, especially for a noob.

Guys, I am working on the site, but I need help with a name. I originally came up with "HTC Resources" but then I might get into copyright issues, and make it seem like I am affiliated with HTC. Any ideas for good names?
Vivowmania.
Hah I dunno I suck at stuff like that.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA App
Well, the site barely has anything done so far, because I've scrapped stuff several times, but I like where it's going now. The name I have decided on is:
quietly rooted: make the most out of your HTC phone
Man I had the same idea as for making a reference site for the phone. Would you mind if I linked you're guides in it? You wrote up some good stuff that's helpful.
Sure. BTW, I'm done working for the weekend, as I'm having some issues, and I need to talk to someone about it, which I'll do Monday or Tuesday.

[Q] Any devs willing to help?

Hello,
I've been an Android user for a while, but now I'm actually pretty interested in learning to become either a dev or a themer, but I don't really know too much about any of the languages or anything.
Is there anyone who would be willing to help me learn? It's something that I'm very interested in doing, and willing to dedicate a lot of time into it.
If you're interested in seeing my only theme I've made (which is for Go Launcher EX) you can check it out on the Facebook page: Droid Fans (free download too)! I would post it here but I don't have enough posts.
Thanks!
Honestly, you really don't need someone to teach you. There is a wealth of information, guides and tutorials here at xda and on the web. The android development site is a great place to start. All it takes is a true desire to learn.
